At the Groundhog Café...

We need Chip Ahoy to have an animated Meade pop out of the snow! Or if not Meade...I'll do it!

Lefties could make a game of animated "Wack-a-lawprof" with Ann and maybe Insty randomly appearing...

That's not a hole, though. It's a bird bath.

I'd rather see a lot of birds show up, chip away at the snow and ice on the bird bath, and then maybe have a big fountain spurt up from it, the spray of water melt the snow, and then all manner of woodland creatures scamper in, flowers pop up, etc. etc.

By the way, a fox has been seen in our neighborhood, so… lots of foxes. Foxes and phloxes.

Oh, blast!

Punxsutawney Phil predicts longer winter

Seeing Red said...

Knew that was coming. I wonder how many more of these winters we need to have before the experts suggest we may be in another Maunder Minimum?

Damn, the moment I saw that, I thought "Where's Chip Ahoy when you need him?" Ron got there first.

Wasn't he the one that was writing about fantasizing about punching liberals after the 2012 election, even though he probably couldn't punch his way out of a soufflé? Maybe he decided to try it and found the end result didn't go so well.

While NPR plays games with rodents and does a continuous honor month for Pete Seeger, the severe global cooling grinds along. Interestingly there has been no Global Warming since Charles divorced Diana in 1996...or since the day the sunshine was gone.

And The sneaky snake Obama has given Iran total cooperation going nuclear while leading the USA and the EU into an agreement that Israel has to act is if the 1949 Truce lines are once again its permanent borders or else these noble anti-semites will be forced to destroy the Jewish State of Israel.

Groundhog Day falls on the 40th day after the birth of Christ and was the day he was presented at the Temple.

There was a funny article in the local paper about all the reasons six more weeks of winter would be bad. The list was filled with the idea that this winter sucks, and we don't need more of it.

ha! Only six more weeks of winter is a deal I'll take every year. Especially this year! I am always confused as to how "six more weeks" doesn't qualify as "an early spring!"

But I was outside all day yesterday with two of my kids, and it was awesome. Almost made it to 20 degrees.

If the Thames freezes like it has before, maybe then the experts will pay attention.

I'm traveling, and TSA has a new twist. They swab your hands looking for traces of.....something. I feel certain that handling firearms before arriving at the airport would set off the alarm.
